I really, really dislike all the IP soups...blech! That being said, I wish I liked them because it would be a nice change from the puddings, drinks and bars--especially during this cold weather. What about soups from alternative sources (Proti-thin, Protidiet, etc.)? If you have tried these soups, what do you think--similar to IP, worse, or better?

The veggie purees can totally change the flavor of the soups and actually make them delicious! I especially love the cauliflower puree added to the chicken soup and mushroom puree to the mushroom soup. There are also some recipes for making flatbreads from the soups as well as savory muffins. You might be able to "doctor" up some of the soups you have so you can use them up!
